U.S-France Joint Seminar on the Utilization of Anomalous X-Ray Scattering, Bandol, France, May 1987

该奖项将支持由斯坦福大学的Arthur Bienenstock教授和奥赛巴黎第十一大学电磁辐射利用实验室的C.E. Williams博士和D. Raoux博士联合举办的研讨会，主题是“利用异常x射线散射”。研讨会将汇集来自不同学科的科学家，他们有望从这种新兴的材料分析技术中受益，以便为目前正在建造的新x射线源的最佳利用制定计划。生物学家、化学家、材料科学家和物理学家将被邀请讨论这项技术在研究中的应用，例如，无定形和结晶固体、蛋白质晶体、冶金、胶体和低结晶固体。这次研讨会应导致这项新技术在各科学团体中迅速传播，并应产生有关应用和技术的新想法。斯坦福大学同步辐射实验室和斯坦福大学是这一领域的先驱实验室。鉴于目前正在开发三个新的高亮度x射线源（两个在美国，一个在法国），研讨会的时机非常合适。

This award will support a seminar, jointly organized by Professor Arthur Bienenstock of Stanford University and Dr. C.E. Williams and D. Raoux of the Laboratoire de l'Utilisation du Rayonnement Electromagnetique (LURE), University of Paris XI, Orsay, on the subject of Utilization of Anomalous X-Ray Scattering. The seminar will bring together scientists from the various disciplines expected to benefit from this newly emerging materials analysis technique in order to plan for the optimum utilization of new X-ray sources now being built. Biologists, chemists, materials scientists, and physicists will be invited to discuss applications of this technique to the study, for example, of amorphous and crystalline solids, protein crystals, metallurgy, colloids, and poorly crystallized solids. This seminar should lead to a rapid diffusion of this new technique among the various scientific communities represented, and also should generate new ideas for applications and techniques. The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and LURE are laboratories which have been pioneers in this field. The timing of the seminar is opportune in light of the fact that three new high-brightness X-ray sources--two in the U.S. and one in France--are presently being developed.
